 Psalms 92:7 (KJV)  When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: By the word of the Lord may whosoever is planning evil or any level of wickedness against you be destroyed in Jesus mighty name.

DATE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2023.


TOPIC: MODERATION


MEMORISE:


Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Philippians 4:5


READ:

PHILIPPIANS 4:5-9


5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.


6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.


9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.


MESSAGE:


Do everything in moderation. The fact that you have enough money to buy as much food as you like does not mean you should eat every time. Some people used to fast when they were poor but as soon as some money came into their hands, fasting became history. Even if you don't want to fast for spiritual reasons, you need to fast for the sake of your health.


Truly, you may have a lot to do but that doesn't mean you should not find a way to spend quality time with your family. Don't let success destroy the great things of life. Money is supposed to improve your quality of life, not worsen it. That you now have a housemaid or other domestic staff does not mean you should not exercise your body anymore. Every now and then, you still need to engage in some household chores and physical activities.


When some people make a little money, they start disrespecting other people they deem to be less fortunate. If you see a rich and popular fellow who doesn't respect elders, you have seen someone who is not interested in living long. King Saul became wealthy and influential, so he stopped honouring Prophet Samuel. The result of that was his life becoming so miserable that he begged to be killed (1 Samuel 31:4). Samson thought because he was strong and influential, he could be with any woman he wanted, even against the advice of his parents and ended up being captured by his enemies. Don't let the power that comes with money and success get you to destroy yourself.


The word of God does not teach us to lead a carnal life that pleases the flesh (Romans 8:13). Don't let comfort bury you before your time. Put your flesh under to ensure that it is not indulging in things that are not beneficial to you. Believe me honestly, if you always do whatever you feel like, your flesh will begin to rule you. If you let money, success or fame get into your head, the end will be disastrous. There are more successes to be achieved in the future, but you can only reach them if you are temperate with the ones you have already gotten.


KEY POINT:


Don't let money, success or fame deny you of the greater achievements lying ahead of you.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

ZECHARIAH 6-10


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 7

I AM THINE O LORD


1. I am Thine, O Lord

I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith

And be closer drawn to Thee.


Chorus:


Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side. 


2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord

By the power of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.


3. Oh the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God

I commune as friend with friend!


4. There are depths of love that I cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee.

DATE: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 28 2023


TOPIC: IS JESUS IN YOUR BOAT?


MEMORISE:


And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

Mark 4:38


READ:

MARK 4:35-41


35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.


36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.


37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.


38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?


39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.


40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?


41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


MESSAGE:


In our Bible reading, Jesus’ disciples woke Him up, and He stilled the storm. Have you imagined what would have happened had He not been in the boat? Life is full of storms, and except God helps you, such storms can drown you.


No matter how smart you are, there is one storm you cannot escape: the storm of death. Don't be deceived, death will make anyone who isn't in Christ fearful. David could say, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me" (Psalm 23:4) because he was on the Lord's side. If the Lord is not with you in your boat and the storm comes, who will you call upon?


Storms can come suddenly, without notice. Once while on a plane to London, there was a particular man who had a golden walking stick. From time to time, he would get up and show off his golden walking stick as he walked to and from the bathroom. Suddenly, the captain announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a little problem as we currently cannot land the plane". The man with the golden walking stick now really needed to go to the bathroom; but as he stood up to go, the hostess asked him to remain seated. Obviously terrified, he refused to remain in his seat and for a moment, I too was afraid. I then said to my Daddy, "But Lord, You didn't tell me this is the end". He responded saying, "No, it's not the end. I want to talk to you, and I know that as soon as you land, you will be kept busy, but we need to talk". As soon as I heard His voice, His peace came to me. After the Lord finished talking to me, the plane landed without any problem. Had I not already been His child that day, I would not have had any right to call upon Him in the storm and I would have been terrified like just any other person.


If He is not in your boat, there would be nobody to call upon for deliverance in the midst of a storm. It is only when you have Him in your boat that you would be able to say, "Christ in me the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).


REFLECTION:


Is Jesus in your life?


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

ZECHARIAH 1-5


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 5

BLESSED ASSURANCE


1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.


Chorus:


This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour all the day long

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour all the day long. 


2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,

Angels descending, bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.


3. Perfect submission, all is at rest

I in my Saviour am happy and blessed

Watching and waiting, looking above

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
